It's a great book telling the story of Indians living abroad. How their emotions, culture and feelings about their country change as time passed. The story starts with an Indian couple staying in America and the pain of detachment with everything they loved most. But as time passed they start love their new life. And then they have a son and the story goes around him. The story is about two generations.
The novel is worth reading. Jhumpa Lahiri won Pulitzer Prize for her book 'Interpreter of Maladies'.
